Introduction
What is EcoSystem®?
EcoSystem lighting control systems are capable of controlling
various lighting sources through automated and manual dimming.
The automatic light controls include motion sensors and daylight
sensors, which monitor a space and appropriately adjust the light to
avoid wasted energy and improve the work environment. The
manual controls of the system include wall dimmers and handheld
remote controls, which allow personal interaction with the lighting by
the people in the space. EcoSystem can also work together with the
security, HVAC, and other building management systems to provide
the appropriate lighting for every situation.
The EcoSystem® Bus
EcoSystem ballasts can be connected to one another to create a
system of up to 64 ballasts. Any infrared (IR) receiver, sensor, or wall
control connected to a ballast can communicate with any or all
fixtures on the bus. Subsystems, called groups, are configured and
programmed using the handheld programmer.
Systems using more than one EcoSystem ballast, or ballast module,
require an EcoSystem bus power supply. This component powers
the communication bus between devices, and is capable of
supporting up to 64 ballasts or ballast modules, 32 occupant
sensors, 64 wall controls or infrared (IR) receivers, and 16 daylight
sensors.
EcoSystem® Programming
EcoSystem is programmed using the handheld EcoSystem
programmer. Using a stylus, users make onscreen selections and
transmit programming instructions via infrared, similar to a TV remote.

4 EcoSystem® Programmer
Transmitting to Control Devices with IR Receivers
Programming information is transmitted wirelessly from the
EcoSystem programmer to any sensor or control with an integrated
IR receiver. When programming, stand within 8 feet (2.4 meters) of
the sensor or control and point the top of the programmer directly at
it.
Regardless of what function is being performed, the system can be
accessed through any IR receiver. For example, it is not necessary
to point the programmer at the daylight sensor being programmed if
a keypad provides more convenient access.
Keypads and IR receivers have LEDs that blink when programming
messages are transmitted.
If the device does not receive the signal, move closer to the device
or adjust the angle of the programmer. It is also important to ensure
that the programmer battery is charged and has enough strength to
transmit the signal to the device.
NOTE: Occupant sensors do not have integrated IR receivers.

Typical Programming Workflow
Following is the typical workflow needed to program a new
EcoSystem when it is installed. This guide includes detailed
instructions for each programming step.
11 AAddddrreessss tthhee ssyysstteemm..
Begin by addressing the ballasts using the
EcoSystem programmer. This enables the programmer to
communicate with the ballasts and configure their settings.
22 CCoonnffiigguurree ffiixxttuurree ggrroouuppss..
Next, configure the group of fixtures to
be controlled by each device (IR receiver, daylight sensor, wall
control, occupant sensor, or contact closure). A group can be as
small as one fixture or as large as the entire EcoSystem bus.
33 SSeett uupp ddeevviicceess..
Once fixture groups have been configured for
each control device, set custom preferences for each device.
44 CCoonnffiigguurree bbaallllaasstt sseettttiinnggs
s..
To further fine-tune the system,
customize the high level and emergency settings for the ballasts.
55 CCoonnffiigguurree ccoonnttaacctt cclloossuurreess..
To allow EcoSystem to integrate with
third-party systems, configure contact closures on the bus supply
to specify occupancy/vacancy settings, select scenes, or
respond to peak demand.
66 PPrrooggrraamm bbaallllaassttss ttoo sseeaassoonn nneeww fflluuoorreesscceenntt llaammppss..
Program the
ballasts to operate at full intensity before dimming. New
fluorescent lamps can have impurities which can impact their
dimming performance. Follow the lamp manufacturer’s
recommendations on lamp seasoning requirements.
Refer to the following topics for detailed procedures on how to
perform each programming step.

Programming Guide 11
How an EcoSystem® Bus Prioritizes Inputs
When programming a system, it is important to understand how the
ballasts prioritize inputs:
11.. EEmmeerrggeennccyy ccoommmmaanndd ((ttyyppiiccaallllyy lliigghhttss ttoo ffuullll oonn))..
The ballast’s first
priority is to ensure that no emergency exists in the building. If an
emergency exists, all emergency fixtures are automatically set to
their emergency level and all manual lighting adjustments are
ignored. If an emergency does not exist, the ballast proceeds to
the next level of priority.
22.. PPrrooggrraammmmiinngg ccoommmmaannddss..
The second priority is to respond to a
user programming the ballast. If programming commands are
being sent, the ballast responds to the commands, but ignores
any sensor or control device input. If no programming commands
are being sent, the next priority is queued.
33.. DDaayylliigghhtt sseennssoorr
iinnppuutt..
The third priority is input from daylight
sensors. The daylight sensors are checked to set the “high level,”
or the maximum light level the ballasts can be manually set to.
44.. OOccccuuppaannccyy sseennssoorr iinnppuutt oorr ppeerrssoonnaall ccoonnttrrooll tthhrroouugghh IIRR rreemmoottee oorr
wwaallll ccoonnttrrooll..
After checking the daylight sensor, the ballast waits
for the occupant sensor to detect a person in the room or for
input from a manual control. Manual control inputs come from
users dimming the lights up or down with a wall control or IR
remote. The lights will go to the level requested by the
occupancy sensor or personal control that last changed.
12 EcoSystem® Programmer
Addressing the System
Prior to programming, each ballast must be addressed. This enables
the programmer to communicate with the ballasts and program their
settings.
NOTE: To address new ballasts added to an existing system, refer to
page 60.

Configuring Areas
Areas allow a number of fixtures and their associated sensors to be
quickly grouped together. If fixtures are added or removed from an
area, sensors within the area are automatically assigned to control
them, overriding any preexisting grouping in the area. If multiple
daylight sensors are in the area, only one is assigned. Once
created, areas can be modified through the normal sensor grouping
means. Any area can be configured from any IR receiver. It is not
necessary to directly access a sensor within the area being created.

Setting Light Levels for Daylight Sensors
To save energy, a light level can be set for each row of fixtures in a
daylight sensor group. Throughout the day, fixtures automatically
adjust their light level based on how much daylight the space is
receiving. Light levels can be set from any IR receiver. It is not
necessary to directly access the sensor being set.
NOTE: Group fixtures before setting light levels. Refer to page 16.
11
From the Main Menu, tap
DDeevviiccee SSeettuupp
and then
DDaayylliigghhtt SSeennssoorr

22
Read the instructions, then
tap to continue.
33
Point the programmer at any
IR receiver and tap to
begin communication.
44
If all fixtures go to minimum
brightness and a fixture
connected to a daylight sensor
flashes, tap .
55
Scroll to the daylight sensor to
be set (its group fixtures will
flash). Then tap to
configure the selected sensor.
66
If fixtures in row 1 of the
selected sensor group go to
full brightness and all other
fixtures go to minimum
brightness, tap .
By default, all fixtures initially
grouped to the daylight sensor
are in row 1. Up to 4 different
rows are supported in each
daylight sensor group. It is not
necessary to have fixtures in
every row.
